Unnamed Living Slave

anonymized representative symbolic politicized
An unnamed, hypothetical individual invoked by Josh as a rhetorical touchstone to distinguish WWII internment reparations from claims tied to chattel slavery. The reference functions less as a discrete biographical subject and more as a present‑tense stand‑in for living survivors of slavery whose existence would sharpen political and moral claims. Within the series this figure operates as a moral provocation—anonymous, evidentiary shorthand that forces characters to measure political feasibility against visceral, personal continuity of historic injustice.
